    The MTV special on the XBox 360 was shown in Ireland on Friday night. Having read some comments about it, I wasn’t expecting much detail – and boy did I not get it! The sub-heading in MTV’s article about the XBox 360 says it all. This was all about music, multimedia, changeable face-plates, and being…

  • Geek makeovers

    Seth Godin has come across J Allard’s makeover. He doesn’t quite get the fact that Geek on Stun have use the marketing hype about the high definition next-gen console and dubbed Allard’s transformation as “HD Allard”, but it’s still interesting to see how the man has changed.

  • Flying In Ireland

    After much more hunting around in Google than I expected to have to do, I found Flying In Ireland, which seems to be the centre of the online Irish aviation community.

  • Arsenal beat Everton 7 – 0

    Arsenal put on a scintillating display and thoroughly thrashed Everton 7 – 0. Since there was nothing for Everton to play for except professional pride, it was always likely that the 3 – 0 half-time score would be improved on, but no-one can have expected that Arsenal would rack up their biggest Premiership win ever.…

  • Arsenal confirmed in 2nd place

    Last night Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1, and in doing so, ensured that Arsenal finish in 2nd place in this season’s premiership.
